Don't have much to say except that you can 2 hatch expo, you can reach the expo by 2 route, and each corner has a mineral only with a small raised jungle cliff.. Middle with 2 expands, kind of open Main mineral = 8 , nat = 7

I like it . I like the arrangement of the bridges, and the kind of mobility that it opens up. The positions of the mineral onlies and how they are accessible are, in my opinion, what makes this map interesting . (I'm also kind of jealous because I couldn't think of an interesting 4-player map design for the Blizzcon Map Contest )

Apart from that, it looks like a pretty standard map, so racial imbalance shouldn't be horrendous or anything. The centre might be a tad too tight, though. Also, the arrangement of the mains may introduce some positional imbalances, the way that one player's main cliff can overlook the other player's nat and min only area, to an extent. I suggest chopping-up the cliffs in those areas or lining them with water to create a buffer zone of impassable terrain. Actually I prefer the water solution because that way arial units won't have a sight-advantage from the cliff, either. The mains are huge right now, which will make it hard to defend against things like zerg mass-drops. Adding the impassable terrain areas (thus shrinking the mains) should help alleviate this problem.

You're submitting this for the contest, right? I'm sure they're going to pick at least 1 or 2 maps that have more than 2 player spots, and I think your map has a really good chance of winning against other 4-player maps.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I like how the geysers are positioned in the mains .

What? Aside from a visual resemblance, it's nothing like Dahlia. The 1st nat has gas, and the gas nat isn't far away from your ramp. Also the min only isn't easy-pickin's for lurkers.

To me, the biggest problems PvZ would be the large mains and the way the nat is accessible, that makes hydras vs toss nat stronger for zerg than on, say, LT. (on the other hand there's no cliff, so unlike LT you don't need to worry about lurker drops on the nat cliff)

Edit: Actually the main path to the nat looks pretty wide too. I think it should be a bit narrower, about 10 tiles (5 pylons) across, unless it's already that wide and I just can't judge the distance very well .

1nat is just switched with the corner gas exp + it`s really ez 2 defend just like on dahlia. And visual appearance is #1 factor
So that makes it Z friendly Dahlia.
Large mains also are + for Z but since u can`t build up outside they R neceassary.

:O Bill, it's my really first try at 4 player maps.. all my other maps 4 players suck. You think i should add this one to blizz contest? Ok, so if i understand everything, you suggest me to cut off some of the cliff on mains that let terran siege tanks to stop other players expanding in mineral only? I should put water? I didn't tryed the map yet, ill test it tonight and see how many pylons i can put in the path leading to the nat expo.. But i think it's kind of good if this map favor Z, no maps favor Z Thanks for your great feedbacks. I don't think it is dahlia.. well wasn't my idea.

The map looks nice and quite balanced, but the name makes me thirsty.

I hate that the distance to the first nat at 9 is nearly twice as long as the other bases. Kind of like LT.
